A walk round the most southerly UK island, St. Agnes , one of the Isles of Scilly. The trail visits four places, where you need to gather information to reveal the location of the cache. The co-ordinates given are those of the first place to visit, not the cache itself. This cache can be completed on a short day trip to the island of St Agnes.
We enjoyed the PurplePenguin's Tresco Trail so much that we've emulated it for St Agnes.
The Isles of Scilly are situated 28 miles to the west of Lands End. To get there you can take a light plane or ferry from Penzance. There are places to stay on all the inhabited islands (St. Mary's, St. Agnes, St. Martin's, Tresco & Bryher), ranging from campsites to award-winning hotels. The islands are tranquil and beautiful. There are boat trips from the islands (weather permitting), so you shouldn't have a problem getting to St Agnes once you're there.
The final cache is: N49 A3.CDE' W006 F.ADG
